Tater Tuesday – Sean Peless (2002)

Welcome to Tater Tuesday on the blog. Each week I’ll take a look at home runs or – as the Great George Scott called them – taters. Usually, this will be home runs by a Timber Rattlers player.

Sean Peless led the Rattlers in homers in 2002. He also hit the only walkoff home run for the team that season.

Sean Peless was the Opening Night first baseman for the Timber Rattlers. He had three multi-homer games, hit a walkoff home run, and led the team in homers during the 2002 season.

I do not have full details on his first two-homers, hit during an 8-5 win over the Burlington Bees during the second game of a doubleheader on April 11. My hockey duties had me driving into Burlington from a playoff series in that night.
